ACADEMIC PRODUCTIVITY AND ITS CONSEQUENCES FOR SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION IN ADMINISTRATION

Academic productivism is a practice that has had a harmful impact on scientific research over the past few years, being seen as an anomaly, where the researcher is practically obliged – in a normative and institutional manner – to have a certain number of scientific outputs to remain within graduate programs. The objective of this article is to identify how the degree of immersion in social processes of influence can increase academic productivism in Management researchers. The research has a qualitative and quantitative nature, because during the research data were extracted from the Lattes platform, and also data through interviews with researchers who are part of the graduate programs that have grades 5 to 7 in the CAPES assessment., It was observed that the programs that have a high production of articles influence their researchers to have a production compatible with that of the program. The results of the research confirm the idea proposed by the theory of social influence, as researchers are interested in publishing only as first authors, this authorship being given through the consolidation of the network with the same co-authors, and many times, in an improper way. Finally, it is recommended that for future research it is analyzed how the social influence exerted on the students.
